“This is the story of NORML, the oldest and most effective of the organizations dedicated to the reform of marijuana laws. It is told in a lively and engaging manner by its founder and leader, Keith Stroup, who has been battling this destructive prohibition for more than 40 years. More than providing an excellent history of the tortured arrival of marijuana into contemporary American culture, it is also a chronology of fascinating experiences and remarkable people Stroup encountered on this crusade.” - Lester Grinspoon, M.D. (Associate Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School)

As America is nearing ever closer to ending the prohibition on marijuana, the story of that fight is the story of NORML. And the story of NORML is the story of its founder, Keith Stroup.

Keith Stroup is an incredibly brilliant man. I recently watched an interview with him, and was blown away at how knowledgeable he is, and how laser-focused he is on ending prohibition. I totally think I will get this book. And I don’t even read many books. (I have no affiliation, I’m just a fan of NORML and its activists)
